For over 20 years, the Youth Services (REACH) division of Community
Missions of Niagara Frontier, Inc. has coordinated with Niagara County
libraries to put on the Tidings of Joy Christmas Campaign. The program
provides Christmas gifts for youth involved with the Mission, allowing
members of the community to purchase gifts for the youth.

The project involves setting up trees in local libraries with paper
ornaments corresponding to wish list items that the youth have
requested. The trees are located in libraries in Niagara Falls (City and
LaSalle branches), North Tonawanda and Lockport. Patrons are asked to
return an unwrapped gift to the library by Dec. 15. The program then
disperses the gifts to the youth to ensure a happy holiday season!

The program is supported by a number of wonderful local
organizations, including the Seneca Niagara Casino, St. John de LaSalle
Parish, and Staples. Please contact 285-3403 x.2231 with any questions,
or participate by visiting a local library today!
